16-Dec-16

SealTOUGH, a breakthrough development in polyolefin sealant technology, is the latest innovation from Jindal Films Europe (Luxembourg), as per Plasticstoday.com. SealTOUGH is a unique coextruded packaging film targeted to replace sealant layers in a lamination or single layers in mono-web applications.

SealTOUGH features puncture resistance, enhanced clarity, improved modulus and seal strength that can exceed 5,000/2.54cm. Down gauge potential of 30%, 40% or more is achieved compared with traditional sealant films. Jindal Films claims SealTOUGH bridges the attributes of BOPP and blown PE film to achieve enhanced performance benchmarks for clarity and strength. Packaging designs utilizing SealTOUGH contribute to the environmental objectives for source reduction and recycling.
Compared to blown PE, SealTOUGH reportedly features a three-fold improvement in tensile strength and a two-fold improvement in modulus, puncture resistance and impact resistance. “This product offers superior performance in critical properties,” said Laurent Chantraine, Market Development Manager. “SealTOUGH achieves the clarity of BOPP with the high seal strength of blown PE. The film’s superior puncture resistance and strength enables significant down-gauging opportunities to provide both a performance advantage and cost savings.”
